We had the pre-theatre dinner banquet and everything was delicious. What our group thought was excellent was that there was the flexibility for the 6 of us to choose different banquets as long as 2 people chose the same thing. Their lamb and arnabeet were our particular favourites.

We were a mixed table of vegan and non vegan diners . The starter course of jerusalem artichoke soup was outstanding. The flavour profile was complex and we all agreed it was nothing like we've ever had before ! The other courses were very good too especially the vegan ones. I think Chef Saleh's strength is really in his vegetarian creations. The flavours and textures were very well balanced and unique. It left us meat eaters eyeing off our vegan friends' dishes. Service was warm and welcoming which always makes a special dining occasion even better !
